>Mother calls 911 because she thinks I'm acting unusually>EMS show up, jab me, and throw me in a psychward>Get diagnosed with schizophrenia and get out of the hospital after I'm stabilized on antipsychotic medication>Get a 10k bill in the mail for just the ambulanceWhat would have happened in your country?

>>217088755Ambulances aren't that expensive Ivan.
>>217088755Medical bills can't count against your credit rating. Don't pay. Don't answer the phone when debt collectors call. Simple as
>>217088783Not OP but you're retardedhttps://abc7chicago.com/post/mom-shocked-7k-ambulance-bill-childs-11-mile-ride-between-homer-glen-satellite-er-silver-cross-hospital-new-lenox/15797459/
Here it would have been no charge for the ambulance. And around $25-30 for a doctor/psychiatrist consultation, but limited to a total of around $300 per year (meds and consumables, consultations, prescriptions and pretty much anything else health related counts towards that 300 total).After the initial 300, any health expenses are covered by the state for the rest of the year (except elective surgery such as boob and nose jobs and other self-initiated procedures and costs related to those). (Dental is another story, that's only covered by the state until 18 years of age, then subsidized until 25 years of age. However, low income families and indiciduals can apply for financial support from the state to cover necessary dental work.)I maxed out the $300 one year and later in the year wanted to remove some small skin artifacts on my forehead that had popped up. The doctor checked that they were benign, before freezing them off with nitrogen. I didn't have to pay anything for the consultation as such (although it could be argued it was purely cosmetic when benign) but gladly paid $20 for the nitrogen used.There can be waiting lists for CT and MRI scans and such, so many employers still have employee health insurance that's guaranteed to get you to the front of the line at a (much more expensive) private clinic usually in less than 7-10 days.I needed psychiatric help once after hitting the wall hard at work. Went to my G.P. and explained the situation, he then placed a call to a local low-treshold psychiatric team who are on call 24/7. They called me back in less than two hours and asked if I needed an appointment that same day, or if the following day was OK (it was).The U.S. does not have a health care system. It has an insurance system designed to maximize profits from health care insurance and treatment corporations. Same brand meds are infinitely more expensive in the U.S. than in Europe, because ur health&insurance legislation is weak. Sorry for ya.
>>217088755Just dont pay it you moron. Only idiots pay for medical bills. They literally cannot ever deny you treatment at hospitals.
>>217089026Eternally btfo. My god. Healthcare costs are the main downside of living in America, but I didn't know it was this bad.
>>217088783I got an 8k ambulance bill in college stfu about what you don't know about retard

>>217088755>Mother calls 911 because she thinks I'm acting unusuallycan you elaborate a little bit on this?

>>217088755>Get a 10k bill in the mail for just the ambulanceI would bite down on my fake tooth right then and therewhat are they gonna do? nothing I have will add up to 10 grand LOLnot my problem also since I would be dead
>>217088755>Get diagnosed with schizophrenialol isn't schizophrenia pretty rigorous? you have to be actively hallucinating. guessing u got diagnosed with a schizoaffective disorder and ur being obtuse
>>217090024he probably was before, bet $5 he did a shitload of hard drugs that were a catalyst to becoming full schizo
>>217090024Schizoaffective disorder is schizophrenia with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. Both have too much serotonin and dopamine causing hallucinations.
>>217088783Gassoine must be expensive there. Oh wait
>>217088785Also increasingly it doesn't effect ability for housing. When I was looking for apartments many places told me they don't care if my credit score is low if it's due to either student loans or medical bills. Which was the only thing on my credit at all. I refused to ever get a credit card although I finally caved. Somehow it made my credit go down so I stopped using it after 1 month.
>>217090024>jab meThey dont sedate you for shits and giggles, OP was having a full blown schizo melty
vpn ivan threadevery knows schizos is ameriKKKA just roam the streets freely
If you had schizophrenia it requires the police to 5150 you and you voluntarily went to the hospital because mom was gonna kick you out. Stop peeing in bottles!
>>217089938Women think you’re insane if you’re not acting like complete goycattle at all times
>>217088755I feel so sorry for you.meme was true...
>>217088755I thought they literally threw a jab at you to knock you out for a second. That'd be pretty funny.
>>217088783Coworker at my last job ended up owing $12,000 the fire department because his insurance only covered ambulances from one specific company when he was having a seizure and bit off part of his tongue.
>>217088755yeah the world if full of assholes. I've had evil fucks do similar shit to me. I got a gun now and if they try shit they die.
>>217088783I'd love to see people who keep licking the boots get injured to such a point they need an ambulance, so that when they get to the hospital they get shafted in a million ways and end up bankrupt for realthen I'd like to see them post on the internet shit like this with a straight face again
